Amboshi

Scientific Name:

Oxalis corniculata

Amboshi is often considered a weed but has been used in traditional medicine for its potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. This plant thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and prefers partial sunlight to full shade. Despite its reputation as a weed, it can be beneficial for local ecosystems by helping to control soil erosion and providing habitat for certain insects. Its medicinal uses have made it a valuable plant in folk remedies, and it is often found growing in disturbed areas, adding resilience to the landscape.
